Abstract In September of 2015 both AOAC 2015.07 and 2015.08 chloride methods single laboratory validations were reviewed against SMPR 2014.015 (Standard Method Performance Requirements) by the SPIFAN ERP (Stakeholder Panel for Infant Formula and Adult Nutritional Expert Review Panel). Looking at the similarity and uniqueness of the two methods the authors agreed, as advised by the SPIFAN-ERP, to work together to merge the two methods into one. This combined method was assigned AOAC 2016.03. In order to determine the repeatability and reproducibility figures of the AOAC First Action 2016.03 method (Milk, milk products, infant formula and adult nutritionals — Determination of chloride — Potentiometric titration method), a collaborative study was organized.
